You may be in for a nasty surprise next time you fill your washer. Used to kerosene and Diesel were essentially the same stuff. A couple of years ago the EPA began requiring "reformulated" Diesel in

<< The reformulated Diesel is easy to spot - it comes out of the pump as foam. It stinks. It is soapy and slimy, has no apparent solvent ability, doesn't want to wipe off, and evaporates *very* slowl
